Nearly 20% of Trump supporters think that Abraham Lincoln should not have freed the slaves.

Donald Trump appears to have high levels of support among the nation’s intolerant population, according to a New York Times deep dive into polling data.

The Times found that nearly 20% of Trump supporters did not approve of freeing the slaves, according to a January YouGov/Economist poll that asked respondents if they supported or disapproved of “the executive order that freed all slaves in the states that were in rebellion against the federal government”—Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation.

Here is another example of a time when I would like to say I am shocked by this, but honestly I am not.

I am also not shocked to learn that David Duke, former Gran Wizard of the Klu Klux Klan, said this:

“Voting for these people, voting against Donald Trump at this point, is really treason to your heritage.”

"I’m not saying I endorse everything about Trump. In fact, I haven’t formally endorsed him. But I do support his candidacy, and I support voting for him as a strategic action. I hope he does everything we hope he will do.”

Trump is speaking to the fringe of the fringe, and it he were to be elected it would do immeasurable harm to this country, and perhaps even undo many, if not most, of President Obama's greatest accomplishments.

Every single GOP candidate is loathsome is some way, but Donald Trump is essentially loathsome in every way.

Some people say it's a classic corrupt political quid pro quo where President-elect Trump may have promised - in exchange for the coveted official Christie seal of approval - to decree that after inauguration day 2017, Christie MUST henceforth be referred to as a "Husky Hunk" and no longer as a "Fat Fuck". Violators could be subject to the death penalty and/or life in prison.

Gryphen has the anti venom for that.... Gov Crispie Creme in his sports uniform and any photo of Donald. Poor Crispy Creme thought he'd go back to Jersey to a roaring welcome home, instead he's still got the evil eye from the taxpayers and Bridgegate STILL isn't settled. He beat Sarah to the ass kissing fest.

Because much was said about how Levi was young and being manipulated to attack folks he said are good people who helped him out with a lot, who else wants to know just how much Rex and Tank, Levi's former business manages under contract, made off him?

Because as someone in legal, that short court process involving 1 mediation do not add up to what is being claimed. Especially when you consider the years of inactivity. (Aug 2010-Feb 2014)

Instead of feeding bias and name-calling, we should be happy he and Bristol have a cordial relationship and they both quickly put their past mistakes behind them to come to an agreement. Here's a medal of honor to both for being equally-equipped parents.

As scary as Trump is, Cruz scares me even more. Trump is pragmatic (for the most part.) He's saying what he needs to say to get the nomination, then, just like Romney, he's going to become more moderate once he's got the nomination.

Cruz is a religious fanatic and zealot. There's no telling what his God might tell him to do.

Clearly Sarah needs to spend a little more time with her family and a little less time endorsing The Trumpster.

All kidding aside, domestic violence is a serious crime and not one to be taken lightly. Regardless of whether it involves the Palin’s or anyone else, it’s unacceptable. I truly hope the victim is okay, and that Track Palin is punished for this.

Electing an African/American as President has certainly brought the racist out into the open. It’s also no surprise the ignorant and under educated have also come out into the open since there seems to be a strong connection between the two. I’m also almost convinced that McConnell is a racist or why would he come out during President Obama’s inauguration and make his claim that they would make sure President Obama would only be a one term President. Being the Speaker of the House, it’s no surprise we see the obstruction in the Senate that we do today. This could be the final last breath of the Republican Party. And McConnell will most likely go down in history as the idiot and major contributor to all of this.

This might explain why he is running for president-he doesn't have to resign as CEO of his company-can you imagine?----------President Trump Won't Have To Tell CEO Trump 'You're Fired'

By law, he could keep running his business empire from the Oval Office.

WASHINGTON -- When or if President Donald J. Trump takes the oath of office on Jan. 20, 2017, he might not settle for just being the guy in the Oval Office. The eccentric billionaire could add the new title to his already existing preamble as chairman, CEO and president of The Trump Organization.......

I'm not shocked, sadly. I've seen "Tagged" buildings in decent neighborhoods, all painted up with nasty anti black words and nazi images. People try to cover it up, but they're back with a vengeance. They're everywhere. I live on the east coast, just had our retirement home built, and we have to go a different way because it's on a main highway and my blood boils when I see it. For every one that's "out", there are hundreds "closeted". Read M Baker's comment above, it speaks volumes and rings true.

A sizable group of people in America, are claiming they wanna see a "WHITE guy in there, kicking some serious brown butt!"

Who would have ever thought that something like THAT would be the rallying cry of the LEADING candidate for the Presidency?

The same people, always whining about the poor and immigrants getting away with all their tax dollars, doing nothing to earn them...

...will tell you they think Trump can run the nation like a casino, making a YUGE profit...the result of which is never spoken out loud, but is obviously that they'd expect to SHARE in that windfall...

...getting money sent to them, for doing absolutely nothing.

(And due to not understanding the concept of IRONY, don't even see why liberals are making fun of them.)

Any confederate flags flying on the lawns in your nice suburban neighborhood? Possible, but unlikely. How about that trash heap with junk cars in the yard? You bet. Tough to own slaves if you can't afford to clean up the dump you're living in.
